Nature
Hermit Mountain is a 3,050-metre summit in Glacier National Park, British Columbia, in the Hermit Range of the Selkirk Mountains near Rogers Pass. Prominent from the Trans-Canada Highway, it rises among several notable nearby peaks and is heavily glaciated, with Tupper Glacier on its south slope, Hermit Glacier on its north side, and another glacier in its east cirque. Runoff from these slopes feeds tributaries of the Beaver River. First climbed on August 4, 1904, by Alex M. Gordon, Samuel Harper Gray, James C. Herdman, Edward Feuz, and Edward Feuz Jr., it has remained part of Rogers Pass climbing history through routes including the South Couloir, West Ridge, and Rogers-Hermit Traverse.
